- More 787 orders will be converted & 30 new 777-300s on their way. He indicated there won't be a long lag between first delivery and the final delivery.
Take it for what its worth...
50 Airbii and 30 777-300's???
I don't think those numbers are even close.
We ordered 10 777-300's.
The Airbus order is about half of what you heard (and that's if the first few end up being OK).
